Stories about: quantum tunneling

Hydrogen-Bond Exchange Seen in Real Time Hydrogen bond exchange has been observed for the first time by a team of chemists from Kyoto University with the help of a scanning tunneling microscope while monitoring a single water dimer - two molecules of water bonded together. The hydrogen bond exchange takes place between two molecules with a frequency of a fe... 9 May 2008 05:53 GMT Faster than Light? Quantum tunneling represents a quantum mechanics phenomenon, which allows a given particle to violate certain classical mechanics principles. For example, in order to extract an electron from the atom, one must contribute with an input of energy equal to or higher than that of the respective electron. However, quantu... 26 January 2008 06:35 GMT
